According to court records, on March29, 2013 the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation issued a transfer order consolidating 11 federal cases to MDL 2428 (U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, In RE: Fresenius GranuFlo/NaturaLyte Dialysate Products Liability Litigation). Granuflo, manufactured by Fresenius Medical Care, is an additive used in kidney dialysis to help patients maintain their bicarbonate levels which neutralize the acid buildup in the bloodstream during dialysis.

All the actions involve similar allegations that plaintiffs suffered injury or death caused by the use of GranuFlo and/or NaturaLyte during hemodialysis, which allegedly may cause metabolic alkalosis in patients resulting in low blood pressure, hypokalemia, hypoxemia, hypercapnia, cardiac arrhythmia, or cardiopulmonary arrest.

Taking into consideration the latest developments, AttorneyOne.com updated the website and, now, can actively provide an expert opinion including how to get in contact with legal counsel easily and inexpensively in case of alleged Granuflo severe complications. Sean Burke, director of Media Relations at AttorneyOne.com, adds that the relevant information illustrates that people continue to file Granuflo lawsuits. "For that reason", he continues, "our focus should squarely fall on getting the word out and assisting people in finding the right legal assistance.”

A lawsuit was filed on February 25th, 2013 in Alabama Northern District Court (case no. 2:2013cv00371) by a widow alleging her husband suffered severe injuries, including cardiovascular death, after he received Granuflo.
